Apparently, I wasn't. According to the Internet, which can't be wrong, many o=
f the 8-bit computers in the early 1980's were based on 1960's ASCII with so=
me non-standard characters tossed in. Latin-1 probably came during my DOS da=
ys in the 1990's.

As for ISO 8859-1, the standard was approved in 1985 but it was based on the=
 character set for the first ANSI standard terminal, DEC VT-2200, that came o=
ut in 1983. Still early 1980's. ;)

Thank you,
